Albany County Clerk Thomas Clingan is the latest elected official to endorse Phil Steck in the race to succeed retiring Congressman Mike McNulty. First elected to the county-wide post in 1988, Clingan is a popular elected official in Albany County, which is expected to represent over 55% of the 7 county vote in the September 9 Democratic Primary.
Steck has been endorsed by a diverse list of elected officials in Albany County, representing urban neighborhoods, the suburbs, and the hilltowns. Steck said that his campaign is a grassroots effort, and the support of local officials is important to help connect with local voters.
“I am very grateful to have the support of Albany County Clerk Tom Clingan, a universally well-respected countywide elected official,” said Steck. “My campaign is rooted in the community and we’re not fueled by powerful special interests, which is why such a diverse mix of officials has stood up to support our campaign.”
